Abstract: Complex responses observed in an experimental, nonlinear, moored structural system subjected to nearly periodic wave excitations are examined and compared to the simulations of a newly proposed ...

Abstract: An independent-flow-field (IFF) model selected in this study to investigate the nonlinear response behavior of a medium-scale, experimental, submerged, moored structure is validated via parametric ...

Abstract: Analyses and simulations of the coupled surge-and-heave motions of a nonlinear, moored, experimental, submerged structure subjected to random waves are presented here. The random wave excitations examined include periodic ...

Abstract: Model calibration and parametric studies of the coupled, complex surge-heave motions of a medium-scale experimental, nonlinear, submerged, moored structural system are presented here. The experimental system excited by ...

Abstract: A two-dimensional fully nonlinear potential flow model is employed to investigate nonlinear stochastic responses of an experimental fluid-structure interaction system that includes both single-degr ...

Abstract: Quantifying the surface color changes by digital image analysis to assess the quality of the sewage sludge brick is investigated. Relationships among the firing temperatures, percent weight of incinerated sludge ash added, ...

Abstract: This investigation focuses on the influence of nonlinearities associated with impact on the behavior of the rocking response of free‐standing rigid objects subjected to horizontal base excitations. The object is to identify ...

Abstract: The predictive capability of two-dimensional (2D) fully-nonlinear-potential-flow (FNPF) models of an experimental submerged moored sphere system subjected to waves is examined in this study. The ...

Abstract: The objective of this work is to develop a user-friendly software, called an “image color intensity analyzer”, and study its application to the relationship between surface color changes and different elevated temperatures ...
